Lovely Professional University is a unique experiment in quality

professional education and has already made a significant impact on

the academic milieu of our country. It offers a large bouquet of

thoughtfully designed programmes that permit a wide variety of

entry and exit points to suit the aspirations of the youth. The

university recognizes the fact that there are wide variations in the

ambitions, preparation and capabilities of its students and that these

cannot be served by the rigid course- structures of most of the

universities. With our no-walls approach towards education we are all

set to create history by becoming India's first home grown global

university. LPU strives to provide sufficient flexibility in its

programmes to accommodate the diverse needs of the students

through the provision of different pathways and various electives. The

University is dedicated to the thought that students have a right to

quality education, and is committed to provide the same. Its

academic processes are at par with the best in the world. The design

of the teaching programmes is benchmarked against the best

worldwide. The teaching of courses and the conduct of laboratories

use the state-of-the-art pedagogy. The examination system is fully

transparent.

The university’s mission of excellence in teaching, learning and

research is fully embodied in its students.

At the heart of any great institution are the people whose vision and

talent define it. To maintain our prominence and to achieve our goal

of promoting meaningful educational reform we require that we

recruit and retain highly respected, dedicated teachers who are also

committed towards working on practical problems related to

education that is why we make every attempt to hire the best

teachers for our budding professionals.

The university promises its students an academic ambience that is

second to none.

Message from the

Executive DeanMessage from the

A University education is an adventure in learning and a discovery that will

enable you to explore and discover your passions and talents. Education

doesn't start in the classroom and certainly doesn't end there. We, at LPU,

believe in this notion and thence to do justice to it, we engage our students

in the unique concept of 'experiential learning'. We invite you to join us for

an educational experience that nurtures a spirit of inquiry and enterprise in

a global setting. LPU is a University that goes out to the world as well as

brings the world to our campus.

If you join us at LPU at any stage in your education, you will recognize our

endeavors in the form of sporting and cultural initiatives, geared towards

the fulfillment of our promise. Every now and then, you will witness

national and international music bands, athletes and politicians in the

campus. Your schedule will never have a blank space at any hour of the day

due to all the opportunities and interactions available to you.

Your friends will not be your immediate neighbors; if you chose to enroll in

the hostel, you can expect a roommate from Assam, Rajasthan, J&K and

even Sudan! In addition to this integrated global experience, you will be

beguiled by the openness and health of teacher-student and senior-junior

interaction. With our belief in transparent governance, the rather unpopular

communication gap between the management and the students is also

considerably reduced.

I believe that, this prospectus will further showcase our approach to this

notion and make things clearer. Meanwhile, put a deep thought into your

higher education and make an informed decision.

Rashmi Mittal

Pursuing your higher education at LPU will provide you with meaningful

LPU is constantly ranked among the top 3 universities in India. Our unique

curriculum has made us a model for change in higher education in this

country. Today LPU continues to affirm its status as a university with a

Directorate of Distance Education

LPU believes in recruiting the best faculty for perfect

academic delivery. Many of our teachers are selected

from the best institutes across India like the

IITs\IIITs\IIMs\IBS etc. The University encourages and

provides active support to its faculty to conduct research,

publish textbooks and undertake projects and also

sponsoring them to national and international

conferences and workshops. We also organize several

Professional Development Programmes at the university

level throughout the year. Faculty Development

Programmes [FDPs] and Faculty Training Sessions [FTSs]

are organized to equip our educators with the best and

the latest. The training department of the university

conducts these specialized sessions for the faculty.

Special guest-speakers are invited for these development

programmes. The senior functionaries of the university

also conduct these sessions .

+Teachers in LPU are easily approachable and available

for individual consultation and problem-solving. We

believe that regular personal contact with the

teachers beyond the classroom is extremely

important.

+Relevant and real. That is what differentiates LPU

faculty from others. They do more than just deliver

facts. They are tireless educators, curious about how

things that they teach in the classroom, work in the

real world and how it can work better.

Faculty members and students meet periodically to tackle

classroom-related issues, bringing out the best in the

teachers and the students and ultimately enhancing the

teaching-learning process. The benefit of the tutorial system

is that students receive direct feedback on their assignment,

test, projects etc. in a small discussion setting. Student

tutorials are more academically challenging and rigorous

than standard lecture and tests because during each session

students are expected to communicate defend analysis and

critique their ideas in conversation with teacher and fellow

students. As a pedagogic model the tutorial system has

great value because it creates learning and assessment

opportunities which are highly authentic and difficult to

fake.

The flexibile approach of the academic system gives an

opportunity to students to elect one or two courses

corresponding to either their branch of study, or to gain

exposure in their area of interest. These open and social-

science elective courses which are offered in most of our

programmes not only broaden the outlook of our students

but also increase their employability.

The Flexibile Approach

How we Teach

We have a variety of teaching methods combining the

lecture with seminar teaching, tutorials, case based

teaching, group discussions, video and slide shows, problem

solving demonstrations, role plays, closing quizzes, team

based group projects and laboratory-based practicals. The

university is proud of its small group teaching methods

which help in developing analytical, application,

presentation, and communication skills. All of these skills

are highly valued by employers. Our relentless pursuit in

teaching excellence has become a way of life for us.

OUR APPROACH

32 33

How our programmes workOur programmes consist of courses taught and assessed on a

semester basis. As you progress through each semester and

successfully pass the examinations, you will receive credit for

courses you have successfully completed. Therefore, throughout

your programme, you will have a clear report of your academic

progress. All our programmes are composed of core courses and

optional courses, providing you some flexibility and the opportunity

to pursue specializations in the area of your interest.

Curriculum Board of Studies & School-Level Committees ensure high standards of the academic programmes and also enrich the programmes

with emerging issues of current importance that are relevant to the industry and the society.

LPU COMMUNITY

Teacher – Student Relationship

The student-teacher relationship is the basis of any effective academic environment. We

believe that love and understanding in this relationship is as important a factor as objectivity.

A dedicated and sincere teacher is an absolute necessity for any educational institution, but

the institution cannot grow and mature without a cadre of equally dedicated and sincere

students. We think that both instructor and student owe a debt of responsibility to each

other, that can never be paid back. It is for this reason alone that we give special orientation

lectures to our teachers from time to time. We know that a healthy student- teacher

relationship makes the time a student spends in the classroom more pleasant.

“You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.”

- W. Somerset MaughamThe LPU learning environment makes the students so comfortable that they not only learn more, but are more

comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do their best

on tests. When one has this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems,

such as problems with learning .

A good senior- junior relationship is required for a healthy

educational environment and a progressive society. We try

our best to help the seniors and juniors to connect with

each other by bringing them together for freshers parties

and other such events. A mentoring relationship can be very

important because of its potential to inculcate habits of

responsible conduct . The senior junior relationship at LPU

is a functional one. Free and friendly interaction is

encouraged so that the new joinees feel at home and are

comfortable in their new environment.

Senior - Junior Relationship

Excellence in co-curricular and extra curricular activities is encouraged by opening of

avenues for students to develop a well-rounded personality. We believe that co-

curricular, extra -curricular, sports and recreational activities are an integral part of

education. We take sports and recreation

very seriously, and have the facilities and

expertise to support this commitment. We

provide everything required to enable

University members to enjoy sport,

regardless of ability. The extensive

provision of a wide variety of playing fields

add to the character of the University.

generates an explosive mix of celebration,

enjoyment and entertainment. Similar was the

scene at the sprawling lawns of Lovely

Professional University Campus, as the whole

campus wore a glittering look to host “Gurdas

Mann Nite”. This was the first time that

Gurdas Mann presented his offering of

Punjabi Music to the young crowd of LPU. But

what added to the significance of the event

was that it was a solely student managed

affair, with all aspects being arranged and

taken care of, by the students, on their own.

“Gurdas Mann Nite”

The famous Indian Rock band “Euphoria” enthralled the students of LPU with an exhilarating and sensational performance in

At LPU

A Glimpse of 2008 -

LPU is always humming with activity - academic, co curricular

and extra curricular all the year round. At LPU, we believe that

only academic input is not a complete way to achieve the goal

of an individual’s development. Rather an all round

development of both faculty & students is envisaged through

the organization of various recreational activities to break the

monotony of work & studies. The extra-curricular activities

ranging from sports, theatre, fests and competitions are

organized, managed and appreciated by the students

themselves for infusion of self confidence, self esteem and

managerial skills.
